Wages advanced 3.1% from a year earlier.
And COL est. rise was 2.8%.
Which means we continue to have wages such that many workers cannot afford a home, some have to live in a relative's basement, some in a camper, some in the back of a car, or commute from a cheaper small town two hours away. The gap between wealth and poverty continues to grow. Massive student debt traps many. Elected officials loyal to rich corporate donors and billionaires continue to erode the power of unions. New innovation-based industries that could help clean up our air, water, and soil continue to be suppressed by a corrupt political structure that thinks it's 1954. Schools cut back on extracurriculars and electives that help a well rounded education (music, science and math clubs, drama, chorus, classics, etc.) because taxation is painted as evil and hey I got mine fuck the kids. Congratulations on your tax break.
